Wheel chocks / tail support

The past month or two have been quite busy. We spent a week and a half in Guatemala on a dental humanitarian trip.  A lot of our time over the past month or so has been in preparing for that trip and catching up on things afterwards. So today I was able to get back out in the shop and do some work on the plane.

I decided I would go ahead and make some PVC wheel chocks so I cut 3 pieces of PVC at a length of 7 1/2" and glued them together with elbows.  With no engine installed the plane is tail heavy so I decided to make a nice support on wheels to keep it up.  I utilized parts from the support I had the tail cone on.  I think it works pretty good.

Now we just need some good weather so I can roll the plane out of the shop and continue work on the wing attach.

Time: 1.25 hrs
